Siena (7-1, 7-1) puts the nation's second longest active road win streak on the line this weekend, which sits at a program-record eight straight. The Saints enter the series battling for the top spot in the MAAC Standings, with just over a month remaining in the regular season. Siena has won 20 of its past 22 games overall starting with a victory on Jan. 24 of last year vs. Marist.

Marist (8-6, 6-6) is off to its best start in 13 years. The Red Foxes won six of their first seven games to begin the season, albeit have dropped five of seven since. 

Siena has controlled the all-time series with Marist 56-27, including victories in 23 of the last 28. However, each of the past 10 meetings in Poughkeepsie have been decided by single digits and an average of just 4.8 points.
